Nettles is on vocal rest, but Sugarland's first network TV special, Love On The Inside, will air Aug. 3 on ABC. The CD/DVD of the same name will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart the next day.

Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles has received doctor’s orders to rest her voice for the next week due to complications of vocal strain and overuse. The problem is related to the viral tonsil condition the singer has been battling since January.

This will affect Sugarland’s tour dates from now through July 25th, including stops in Utah, Nevada and Arizona. The Love On The Inside tour will resume July 30 in Bend, OR. Nettles and Kristian Bush have posted a video message for fans addressing the situation at www.sugarlandmusic.com.

The July 24th date in Primm, NV has been postponed until 8/6/2010, while it has not yet been determined whether the Sandy, Utah and Phoenix, AZ shows will be rescheduled.
